Something you ladies & gentlemen of the Arkansas State Legislature have not learned and by your actions are about to destroy one of the great tenants of our former preeminent republic.
You are following the edicts of a 30 year career politician Gov. Mike Beebe and an overstepping Department of Human Services Director John Selig dismembering what is left of the best healthcare system in the history of man—THE FEE FOR SERVICE CONCEPT WHICH ALLOWED PATIENTS TO SELECT THEIR PHYSICIANS ,CREATED A COMPETETIVE ENVIRONMENT AND ALLOWED FOR REASONABLE PRICES—THE AMERICAN WAY.  By your actions you are relegating citizens to a system which the majority despises and you are using force to accomplish the goal.

I admonish each of you to look at the destruction of our healthcare system since the federal government, with state governments tagging along, took over the practice of medicine.
You have and are partly responsible for the bankrupting of our republic. A current example is putting another 250,000 people into the corrupt welfare trough, and how many of these are illegals—more criminal corruption.

There appears to be no one in a leadership capacity that has the courage to defend what is left of our former superb healthcare system.  Couple this with the faux president and his Marxist/Communist agenda.

Can any one of you disregard your self-serving activities and say NO to Gov. Beebe & Director Selig?  Do you not understand that you are the ones elected by the people and have the legislative authority to override the governor and fire the Socialist Selig?

These monies you are dispensing are stolen and without the permission of citizens.
One last point—we have thousands of illegal aliens sapping all of our “social” programs at the expense of American citizens, and more particular, stealing the minds of American kids e.g. the corruption in the public school system,  and only one of your numbers has dared to stand and confront your thievery and unconstitutional behavior.
